The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet
Protocol (IP) suite. The IP suite manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and
hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries, report
packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. IGMP has three fundamental
types of messages as shown:
